The Antler Man
The Late Tom Lock, The Antler Man
Tom Lock came from a long line of local carpenters, wheelwrights and undertakers. His great grandfather had an off-licence and opened the village post office (which closed in the seventies). Tom was born at Hawkridge, he was “Exmoor” through and through.
Whilst working for his father, Tom started to collect antlers which he then carved into useful and beautiful objects and unique antler furniture. He made corkscrews and candelabras, key rings and buttons, lamps and walking sticks, chairs, and even chandeliers.
Tom had a remarkable eye for antlers; he could even tell you what article could be made from an antler whilst it is still being carried by the stag.
Now his grandson Robert has taken over and established Exmoor Antler Creations.
